Located in the old stables of the Villa Ambretta, the Villa Ombrone has been entirely refurbished in 2021. It is 160m², and its terraces and garden open onto the majestic scenery of the Ombrone valley. Powered by solar energy, equipped with a heating and/or cooling system through a heat pump, with a heated pool (which can be secured for children), it allows guests to enjoy a comfortable stay year-long. It also features a large living room with a chimney, a small private gym/fitness area with a sauna and an office with a fast internet connection.
